Quick Summary
The U.S. Embassy Pretoria is justifying a sole source award to Keystone Tech (Pty) Ltd. for the rapid design and construction of a Temporary Modular Village at the Embassy Annex. This action is driven by an unusual and compelling urgency (FAR 6.302-2) to establish refugee processing facilities following an immigration raid that compromised prior sites. The contract is a Firm-Fixed-Price agreement, estimated at $771,952.41. This is a justification notice, not a solicitation for proposals.
Scope of Work
The project involves the delivery and installation of 14 prefabricated modular buildings at the U.S. Embassy Pretoria Annex. Key deliverables include:
- 12 modules designed as private interview suites.
- 2 open-plan modules for administrative and biometric processing.
- Essential infrastructure, including electrical upgrades, HVAC units, and perimeter fencing.
- Initial delivery of 4 units within 14 calendar days of Notice to Proceed (NTP).
- Full operational capacity (all 14 units) to be achieved by Week 5.

Submission & Evaluation
This document serves as a justification for other than full and open competition and is not a solicitation for proposals. The government intends to award the contract directly to Keystone Tech (Pty) Ltd.
Additional Notes
Market research indicated that Keystone Tech was the only local entity capable of meeting the critical 14-day mobilization requirement due to a local "builder's holiday" and the urgent need. The government plans to utilize standard competitive procurement procedures for any future permanent facility expansions or upgrades.
